I had a look at my blog and got a shock. Was it really that long ago that I posted! This winter has been a long, wet and windy one and I for one will be glad when we finally get some summer weather. I think I must have hibernated over the winter months and must admit I have been really lazy – read a lot, caught up on TV programmes I had recorded and generally mucked around. I did make some cards though so will have to post these up here gradually over the next couple of weeks.

This is a 21st birthday card I sent to my niece’s daughter in Brisbane.

Guess what – I forgot my sister’s birthday!! My daughter reminded me later that day so I did ring her but felt terrible that I hadn’t remembered. I made this card and sent her so hope I am now forgiven.

Really love this gold washi tape – it just finished the card off great.

Last Sunday Karen and I enjoyed a great class at Debbies. These are the three beautiful cards we made all featuring the dahlia stamp in gold, Pool Party and White embossing. The gold embossed card was also watercoloured.

Thanks for popping in to catch up on what is happening in my life. I enjoy sharing my love of stamping and cardmaking and invite you to have a look at the projects I have made. You are welcome to take my ideas and use them in your own creations.
